Besides my favorite cashmeres in all
the new coIors, dark for morning and
light for evening wear, there are serges
in every tint, and some excellent home
spuns, of which we like best the kind
called Beatrice" costume cloth. One
Of these is In q lovely shade Of green
ish fawn. think Maud is going to
choose it for a knOck-abOut walking
dress. I have selected a coarse-IoOking
rough cloth, in a mixture Of dark
brown and moss green, lighted up with
small tufts Of crimson and amber. This
sounds loud, but the cOlors are not
really so, as they are being so we'll min
gled as to produce quite a subdued eff
feet, though the dots of color warm up
the whole delightfully."- and make it be-
coming. 1 am going to have this male
with as little drapery as possible. This
is the best style Just now. First, there
is a foundation skirt Of silk, with just a
little trimming of cloth at the edge to
make it look as though it were cloth
throughout. OF course, it would be
much too heavy if it were really 50.
Then over this falls the drapery, look
ing like a second long skirt, caught up
very slightly high on the hips and
draped, but by no means abundantly,
at the back. The folds all fall close
to the limbs in front and at the sides.
OF course, at the back there is the hOr-
rid little cushion, but that is the only
permissible protuberance, though I
still see girls ridiculously webbing
with huge cage-crinolette right down
to their heels.
The zephyrs are as dainty and pretty
as ever-even more so, fancy. Some
are in tartan patterns, only that the
colors are very soft and subdueds quite
different from those terrible Gaelic
things that make ones blood run cold
to see. There is a pattern before me
of a zephyr in small squares of palest
pink and blue, with other squares in
which these tender tints are crossed by
a welt of coffee-broWn or tan color,
subduing them into indescribable half
tones, the whole being intersected by
narrow lines of dark blue and tan.
This, perhaps, sounds a little mixed,
but it does not look so. It is lovely.
There is a good black-and-white check
in the same packet.
Some of the new tennis hannels are
very tempting. A few are prettily
striped, with notched lines of contrast
ing color; others are checked. We
admire one of the latter, in which the
ground is cream-colored, with a wide
check in narrow lines of white. crossed
by others in coffee-color. One of the
same description, but with the check
in navy blue and red, would make up
very effectively. It is a little bit like
a flag. Others have railway lines" on
a ground Of pink, blue, or cream-coIor.

Charlie smiled contentedly and shook

And his mother could only hope it was
true, while in her heart she never believed
it.
The six months had slipped by. and
they had never had a quarrel, not even the
tinisst; Kitty was still loyal to her lover,
he was a pattern to all faithful lovers.
But one day Kitys mood changed.
There was gloom in the depths Of her blue
eyes; a shadow on the fair face, which was
not lifted 10 meet his.
~Why, what is the matter, Kitty2
Does the wind blow from the wrong
quarter to-day? or what has stolen my
sunshine aWay?" he asked, with a pre-
tended SILVER.
@You need not come here to make fun of
me, cried Kitty, with a pout that was very
real II think am going TO be very
miserable"
And she buried her fair face in her
hands, and would not look at him.
"But what about Kitty? Is somebody
dead, that you look 50 dOleful2"
@Thats all the sympathy you have, to
tell me look dOlefuL But you were born

@Now, Kitty, that won't do. You've teId
me a different tale a hundred timesi Tell
me what is the matter, and see If Ldon't
help you"
Look at that" said Kitty, suddenly,
lifting her handkerchief from her lap. and
disclosing a letter IN a small feminine
hand, crossed and rserossed, until no one
but woman would have the patience to
readit; and photograph which she pushed
into his hand.
"WeIl, what is that, and what has it got
10 do with your unhappiness?" said Charlie,
staring at the picture with all his might
Sunless she thinks he is better-looking
than I am, he said, dOubtfully, holding
1t mp to the light
"That's just it; and you would see It
yourself if you were not so vain"
Charlie could only look his establishment
at this sudden outburst
Just look at that mustaehe, " she cried;
aand you haven't even the shadow Of one!
He looks too lovely for anything fairly
Spanish" she continued; @and Madge
Wilder is engaged to him.
Charlie began TO laugh.
@And she said you were a 'nice-looking
fellow. but rather boyish, Kitty said,
angrily; ~and I am not going to marry
anybody to be made fun Off
And then silly little Kitty pulled the
pretty pearl ring from har finger and held
il out to him
@And this is all, then2n asked Charlie,
gravely. @You are sure you won't regret
this, dear? Fellows may be Spanish look
ing, Kitty yet not be nice"
But Kitty iurned her back on him and
held the photograph in 'front.' of her face.

An Abe lincoln Story.

day as IN ABE Lincoln story" but
which is older, and must have Blum-
bered somewhere for a good while.
Certainly It Is not one that the poll
tieiRns would be likely to repeat on the
stump, because it reflects On their craft.
In a little group at the Parker House
a rather noisy young politician from
the City Hall was echOing the senti-
ments of Henry Watterson and defend
ing the principle that the spOils belong
to the victor.
81 see nc reason, said he, why any
Republican should be kept in a Fed
eral Office here In Boston while I,
Democrat, who have worked hard for
the party am left out IN the cold"
THAT reminds me, said an elderly
man, whom all the town would recog-
nize If 1 were to describe him, "Of an
incident that I heard of ear in Lin
coins administration There was q
local politician who went on to Wash
iugton to get an Office that he felt sure
only awaited his application to be given
to him. In a couple of weeks he came
back.
Well, did you get your Office? his
friends asked him.
No, said he.
Did you see the President?
Yes, Of course
What did he sav?'
Well, we went in and stated our
errand. He heard US patiently, and
then said: Gentlemen, 1 am sorry
that have no Office for Mr.-. but if
l can't give you that can tell you a
story.
We thought best to hear the story

King.
. GoOd-morning, King, said the
farmer, where are you folks going?'
Hunting said the King.
Lord, you'll all get wet said the
farmer.
"The King trusted his astroIoger.
of course, and went to the forest
but by midday there came on a
terrific storm, that drenched and buf-
feted the whole party. When the King
returned to his palace he had the as
trolOger decapitated, and sent for the
farmer to take his place.
Laws sake, said the farmer when
he arrived, : it amt me that knows
when it's going to rain; it's my don

declared that the appointment was the

Life.
Lincoln stopped here
Why did he say it was a mistake? p
we asked him. Didn't the donkey do
his duty?'
Yes, said the President, but
after that time every donkey in the
country wanted an Office"

L rhsassr TIA Central An,srtea.

built in Central America, and is, there
fore, entitled to q brief description.
There are three tiers Of boxes, the low
est reserved for the artistic unwashed,
the third for the gallery gods, the in
termediate for society. The house is
badly ighted-perhaps out of compli-
ment to the ladies-by implying that
their eyes are sufficient to make day
light in a shady place. Society goes in
full dress and makess the scene quite
brilliant No high hats impede the
view-in this one statement all that is
necessary is said as to the advance In
culture and refinement Of Costa Riea
Turing the last sixty-five years.
The Presidents box, draped In scar
let, is exactly opposite the stage, and If
our traveller is fortunate he may even see
Gen. Bernardo Soto, the present Presi-
lent, or his handsome wife; the one In
uniform, the other simply attired after
Costa RIGA French fashion-both the
true opponents of pure republican sim
